Thought for the day

In Afghanistan, when, on successive days in October [2001], US gunships machine-gunned and cannoned the remote farming village of Chowkar-Karez killing as many as 93 civilians, a Pentagon official was moved to respond at one point: “the people there are dead because we wanted them dead”.

That's righteousness for you !!!
